After Val finished his task, he pulled out a drawing from his codex and handed it to Freya:

"Rhea, you are also a veteran, this mission is mainly based on you, three days, no matter what you find, you will come back and report. ”

"Understood. ”

Freya didn't expect that her long-awaited second mission would still be around the royal city, and she couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Val still approvingly of Freya's eagerness to fight, and he was relieved, then turned to the other four:

"Being able to pass Max's test means that you are not ordinary people, and the training of recruits is exempted, so come on." ”

Seeing Val leave, Charles glanced at the map in Freya's hand, and asked with a twitch at the corner of his mouth:

"You're leading the team..."

Freya was not happy to hear this, so she touched the black longbow behind her and asked unhappily:

"What, can't you?"

"No, no, I was just wondering if three days would be enough for you to find Antlers. Charles quietly stepped away and replied with a hippie smile.

"Bastard, you dare to make fun of me!" the air arrow condensed in her hand in an instant, and Freya blushed, and the arrow was about to be aimed at Charles with an arrow on her bow.

"Oh, don't make a fuss. Seeing that Charles was skinning again, Cecilia hurriedly pressed Freya's hand with the bow.

With this press, she realized that this Leia's hand was actually fairer and more delicate than her own, she was stunned for a moment, and quickly retracted her little hand, and her face unconsciously floated a tender red.

Ezek's eyelids jumped, and even he and Hawke came over to persuade Freya, and by the way, Cecilia was pushed aside.

Freya wasn't really angry, so she just followed the three humanoid steps, collected the longbow, and let Charles go.

She recalled that in the past month or so, she had made several trips back and forth to Antler Town, and she should have recognized the road... Bar...

Huh, where is this?

Have there been so many forks in the road since then?

Hey, why do you have to cross the river?

I'm not impressed at all...

...

She looked at the map and was silent for a long time, but with a shake of her hand, she threw it to Charles:

"Hmph, then. ”

"What's the matter, abdicate and make way for Xian?"

Charles poked his head out from behind Hawke's shoulder, surprised.

When Freya heard this, a green tendon appeared on her snow-white forehead, and she gritted her teeth and reprimanded:

"Think beautifully, I'll lead the team, you lead the way!"

———————

Antlers Town is located in the southwest of the city of King Arton, only three or five miles away from the barracks, and the scenery along the way is good.

It's a pity that a few people are a little unlucky today, not long after they left the foreign barracks, they can't see any scenery with snowflakes all over the sky.

After a non-stop journey, the five of them arrived in the town, and it was already noon.

The sun shines through the dense clouds and spreads generously through the wind and snow.

The town of Antlers under the winter snow is particularly unremarkable.

If it weren't for Charles's brainwave detection, coupled with Mebis's real-time analysis and positioning on the map, it would have been difficult to detect its existence in the wind and snow.

At the intersection of the town is a three-meter-high, five-meter-long wooden plaque with the family crest of the Bailu family painted on it, and the family crest is written in white paint underneath:

White Deer Family Territory, Antler Town.

Specialties of the town: fine wine, leather boots, bacon...

This blunt advertisement made Charles laugh dumbly.

However, such town cards are very common in the Orton Empire, allowing traders to immediately know the town's special goods.

Walking into the town, you are greeted by a main road, and the whole town is slowly built around this street.

A grocery store with sausages hanging under the eaves, a small restaurant with a sign at the door that says that the lamb stew is sold out, and a weapons store that also sells children's toys, and other major livelihood stores, all of which are delicious and fun, are all concentrated here.

For the first time, Charles knew that in a town like this, a tavern didn't need to be opened in an alley.

The only difference between it and the restaurant on the street is that you have to take the risk of drunkards going crazy.

The five of them dressed as a mercenary group traveling west from the royal city, braved the wind and snow into the town, and immediately went to the hotel to stay.

The three of them performed in the true colors of the Silver Hand, Cecilia and Ezek sang and harmonized, bargaining with the innkeeper, and the appearance was even more natural and flawless.

The blizzard came just in time.

According to Freya's plan, the five of them had to pretend to have something to do and delay in Antlers for a few days, and even arranged for Charles to go to the tavern to make trouble, which was a good idea.

On such a snowy day, people could not do much work, and the tavern was filled with all kinds of characters earlier than usual.

Ezek and Charles played forward today, and they came to the tavern to try their luck and see if they could find a few drunks to talk to.

However, he drank a lot of wine, but there was not much progress in the investigation.

They only learned a cursory way that because of the Rose Masquerade, there had been several groups of people in Antlers recently, most of whom were mercenaries from the Three Counties.

Some of the mercenaries were hired by the mayor to capture Rose Masquerade, while others were hired by several families to watch over the home.

Seeing that the two of them couldn't figure out why they were at the tavern, they decided to try their luck elsewhere.

As everyone knows, in the restaurant opposite, someone has been staring at them for a long time.

At a small table along the street of the restaurant, an old couple with vicissitudes of life and white hair are seriously dealing with the potato wedges on the plate.

They sat across from each other, huddled at a table with a middle-aged man of plain appearance.

"How's it going, two? Am I right?"

The middle-aged man who spoke had a smug look on his face.

His face was full of stubble, his eyebrows were thick, and his eyes were not very large, but they could not hide the faint glimmer of light.

"Good eyesight, it is indeed a rose sword, this kid is crazy, is it true that everyone in the world is blind?"

The old woman swallowed the shriveled potato wedges that had been fried with great difficulty, and said gloomily.

In the deep sunken eye sockets, there are a pair of goldfish eyes, which look like a pair of eyeballs suspended in the sockets of a black hole.

The old man on the side looked decent, with a small nose and a small mouth, but the two handfuls of eyebrows grew willfully, like two tufts of weeds, covering his eyes.

He was still dealing with a few charred pieces on his plate, chewing in his mouth, as if his teeth were good.

After listening to the words of the goldfish-eyed old woman, he chewed and swallowed two more bites, and then he spoke slowly:

"Don't blame him for being careless, I'm afraid that even the royal family is not sure that the Rose family really has this heirloom sword. ”

"It's still an adult who has seen people. The middle-aged man hurriedly nodded and flattered.

The old man's weed eyebrows moved slightly, and he seemed to have looked at the middle-aged man:

"Toruk, you've been hiding in Antlers for two or three years, haven't you?"

"My lord, since I ran out of Castia, I have been messing around in the shoemaker's house, and the little family can not give much, but it is better than doing little. ”

This middle-aged man's name is Toruk, and he is a martial artist who has just entered the general rank.

Two years ago, he committed an affair in the city of Castile and became a wanted criminal in the county.

For the past two years, he has been hiding in Antler Town under a pseudonym, and has become the uncle of the side branch of the patriarch of the shoe-making family.
